"ELI provides us with insight, guidance, solutions, and community."Susan Foster, University of Delaware

We'd like to make it easy for you to share your interest in ELI with others at your institution and make the case for becoming an ELI member. Here are some resources that will help.

Becoming an ELI Member : Use this one-page handout to share key information about ELI membership with your colleagues.
PowerPoint presentation : Provide others with a PowerPoint overview of ELI and its work, complete with talking points.
ELI Resource Summary : Distribute this two-page brief to colleagues so they can get a quick overview of the information and materials ELI makes available to its members.
Sample material:
- Show others how quickly and easily they can understand technology and related practices with 7 Things You Should Know About…, ELI's brief, concise, no-jargon emerging technology series.
- Use our white papers to demonstrate how ELI investigates issues in greater depth. For example, ELI's three-part white paper series on net savvy includes:
- Invite colleagues to listen to ELI podcasts and learn more about teaching, learning, and technology—when it's convenient for them. For example, they can access EDUCAUSE Pocket Edition podcasts about Wikipedia and the use of podcasting to support teaching and learning, or they can hear presentations from ELI events, such as the 2007 annual meeting.
- Encourage them to visit the ELI Resources page and explore the wide array of ELI materials for additional products of interest.
Save time on practical challenges using ELI Discovery Tools such as our Learning Space Workshop Guide and Net Generation Discovery Tool.
Calendar of events : Illustrate the range of ELI's online and face-to-face events by downloading the events calendar.
Resource packet: For tangible ELI material that can be read at the user's convenience, request a folder with printed samples.
